eli5: Do people with darker skin have to wear sunscreen?

715 views

I heard the UV cause skin cancer, I’m a brown guy and never wear sunscreen, does that mean I have a higher likelihood of getting skin cancer?

It’s interesting how you just said that you are brown and whether you need sunscreen. Surely you do! Haven’t you seen that border the sun creates right at your biceps where your skin is exposed to the sun through the short sleeves of your tshirt? Just this should be enough for you to invest in a good sunscreen, plus it will save you from skin cancer and skin aging.
